How to break in break pads and new rotors

You need a series of at least 3 aggressive stops from 60mph+.
I like to drag the brakes a little to heat them up and get the pad material into the rotor too.
Brakeclean to get any dirt, grease or oil off of the pads and rotors first.
The pads will have break-in instructions on the back of the package.
The goal is to immediately embedd as much pad material into the rotor, to improve the "bite" from the caliper. Brake pad material sticks to itself better than just the metal rotor.
